Teachable Moments - Who's Getting the Lesson

While some Iraqi's support those who throw shoes at a foreign head of state, and the one who gave them the ability to rear back, no less, the WSJ editoral page highlights growing, open dissent in Iran. Could it be that that bit of tinder we call Iraq is igniting the cause of freedom throughout the middle east? That may be wishful thinking, but a raging inferno starts with but a single spark. The editorial is not conducive to pulled quotes, but it's short so give it a read.

Even though the dialog in the video are meaningless to the Farsi-challenged among us, the pictures are worth a thousand words.

I read the editorial earlier but the video is stirring!

Hollywood folk love to call themselves courageous for making their 394th anti-McCarthy film. But this is what courage looks like. This young man puts his life on the line for freedom.

Uh, am I seeing things, or is the one on the left holding a giant foam hand?! "Go Revolutionary Guard"?
